Bill D. mentions Jay Leno Almost going over the line. St. Patrick's Day Night-he went way over the line. He had a street interview with average citizens answering questions. The audience was then asked to decide (by applause) if the interviewees were drunk or sober.

An analogy might be: Showing Italian people being judged if they are _In_ the Mafia or _Not_ in the Maffia?   

You'll never see that skit. (I would not want to) But it continues to be ok to paint the Irish with a broad brush.
